Hi everybody,
I am undertaking a bit of family history and have reached a dead end so am hoping that someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.
Here goes - my late father worked in a Wigan boat yard during the late 40'/early 50's and I have found images of him with a gang of boatmakers both working on and launching a boat called 'Catterick', with a reg no of 1724. If my maths are correct (and my dad's writing on the back of the photo is accurate), this launch took place in 1949.
My question is, how do I find out whether or not this boat is still around?
Any help will be gratefully received.
